Wow, NASA Telescope Captures Image Hand of God

NASA telescope NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) see the unique phenomenon of a star exploding. Cloud of material that appears to form a picture hand - see photo - so dubbed: Hand of God.

Maybe it's just pareidolia events. However, this rare event invites admiration of many people.



Scientists are not sure whether material removed completely assumed the form of a hand, or whether its interaction with the pulsar particle that makes it seem like it.

"We do not know whether the shape of the hand is an optical illusion," An Hongjun, of McGill University in Montreal, said in a statement. "With NuSTAR, hand it looks more like a fist, which gives us some clues."

Red cloud appears at the fingertips is a separate structure called RCW 89. Astronomers believe the pulsar wind may heat up the cloud that produces energy X-ray light is lower.

NuSTAR is equipped with high-energy X-rays allow better observation. This latest image depicts a pulsar wind nebula, which is produced from the solid remnants of a star that exploded in a supernova. What remains is a pulsar, PSR B1509-called 58 (shortened so B1509), which spins 7 times per second.
